I just started watching your video & I have found your videos so helpful and your personality is just wonderful! My stepdaughter wanted to know more about the surgery as I am about to have it done. (I go see the surgeon next month!)Anyhow, we found your videos & started watching the first one til now & WOW you have come a long way. I started to make a couple videos just for a couple people I know who wanted to know how things are going so far, but I have to get a webcam! LOL Keep us updated! THX
I've been watching random videos of yours and I think you're just awesome. :-) You look great and now I really wish I had brought money for lunch b/c I would kill for some fruit n cheese. :-P
Joel is so sweet to take such good care of you. Go Joel! My son and I want to come see you so we can get one of those fruit and cheese platters! :) I'm glad you are still on youtube! :)
oh cool...to buy the "girl version"...I totally get that........I'm glad to see that you are feeling better....and I think it's adorable how "Ben Folds" crazy you are......I guess I'm getting old....cause I've never heard Ben Folds.....ekkeee...sorry....I'm gonna go listen to some Ben Folds now......I swear!
You look really good, Amelia, both health-wise and beauty-wise as well. I'm so happy to hear and see that you are getting stronger. Kudos to your dear Joel for him taking such good care of you. xo Julie.
Is true..april will be 3 months from my bypass. I don't have any hungry for junk food anymore...the taste is diferent right now. I still make all fat foods my hubby likes and I am ok...the life now look better from 4 months ago :)
Yay! I am so glad you are doing better! And you look better too. I could totally see it in your face that you weren't feeling too good before. But yeah glad to see you are up and about and hope to see more:)
I forgot to say that i wore that shirt for 5 days because it was like my blankie.. it was just so soothing to have it. It is super soft and just feels wonderful and it reminds me that I met my fav singer, andf I lived. Alot of emotion tied up in that shirt
I'm so glad you are staying. You look amazing and you have truly been an inspiration to me, to know that living at 350lbs now isnt what the rest of my life has to be. I met my surgeon yesterday and put my journey to a start. Because of you i have learned so much and i cant describe how thankful i am that you have shared your journey with us all, even knowing the down points that you have had has shown that this isnt a quick fix its a tool. thank you for everything you have done for us.
I am weirdly happy in a way that this happened to me. I have a lot of eyes on me and being able to share how to avoid disaster may have been why I am here. If a post-op wakes up in agony, or pain just hits for no reason and you didn't eat anything weird or difficult, they now know that they are to demand an upper GI and they don't have to wait till their instines and stomach dies and their blood is full of sepsis. I lived and I think this happened so I could share.
Hay Ameila, im glad your not leaving us. Anyhow, I just wanna say that I cant believe your 164. Your so tiny and when I see you, I would think your in your 140's. Thats krazy. I think you look perfect the way your are
Every person i talk to says they can't believe i weight that, but I if you could touch my arms or my calves I am a rock. I am densely packed. My mom said when i was a toddler i looked like i was a feather, and when she picked me up i was like lead. Another theory is that being heavy made my body create more cartilage to carry the load and losing weight I may still have all the cartilage.. who knows. But thanks!
Interesting, I've never heard of the body creating more cartliage, it doesn't weigh that much, it's just in the bones where they connect. my thoughts are, you probably had more muscle mass, and since weightloss, you still have muscle mass, but it's now learner, where before it was bulky. But I'm glad to see you are doing well. What do you weigh now?
2nd part- I am sure happy that you are feeling better..I am the same way I NEVER STOPED MAKING ALAN IS FAVS, I still buy the same stuff alan and spencer likes..Please take care I know you will,, you are so sweet...TTYL God BLESS Kristy
I am so glad that you do updates, it is so informative for us "out here" :)
My surgery was supposed to be on Monday (yesterday) but was postponed due to my low platelet count. Not sure when it`ll be, porbably some time this summer.
Anyway, I do enjoy your videos, and feel better myself after watching :)
Glad you are feeling better, and you really look great!
Sorry for the delay! Something you can do now to make the weightloss body you are gonna get even better is to get a trainer and start weight training now so when you lose the weight your skin will be tighter, i wish i had... but I am thrilled with my results i just wish i had tightened my thighs up a little more pre-op... If anything just do your arms.. they get jiggly fast and some tightening now will help them post weight loss later
I agree, it's good to do some exercising and toning before, during and after weightloss. I'm currently losing weight (am a bit over now) and I happen to take ballet, and it's made a huge difference already and I can't wait to see how it will be when I get this extra weight off.
I am thrilled to hear you will remain at youtube! After people are at their weight goal and they leave youtube, I think is sad, as maintenance is also a struggle and something you and others can help people with :)
Maintenance is the next frontier, we need that as well as weight loss part. All of us with the surgery hopefully will graduate to maintence and I am sure many would like the reassurance that it is possible as well as the initial weight loss
Im glad your feeling good. Love the top. The cheese and fruit platter sounds good. as for u not being hungry did u get that feeling since u been sick or have u allways had it? cause i am 8 months out and never feel hungry. sometimes i have gone with out food.
After Gastric Bypass I was not hungry for months.. it eventually comes back but hopefully you are in control by then. Losing a good portion of my stomach in the last surgery put me back at square one and I am not hungry at all right now. Once i stretch my pouch out again i'll be back to normal
I think you look GREAT! I am so glad you are feeling better! I love to watch your videos. I have learned SO much from you. I'll be posting again soon!
